Rule Filing Status: Filed for Immediate Effectiveness
Rule change to amend Rule 7470 (Exemption to the Order Recording and Data Transmission Requirements) to extend for three years FINRA’s ability to exempt certain members from the recording and reporting requirements of the Order Audit Trail System (“OATS”) Rules (“OATS Rules”) for manual orders received by the member.
Currently, in the Tier 1 5/13/19 weekly report, there is ATS data that is unattributed (that is, there is no ATS name associated with one line of data found in the ATS Data tab). See below:
FINRA is currently investigating the issue and will publish another Technical Notice once the issue has been resolved.
If you have any questions, please contact FINRA Business Services.
Last year, FINRA took several steps to engage with members regarding their current and planned activities relating to digital assets. These efforts included the issuance of Regulatory Notice 18-20, which encouraged firms to keep their Regulatory Coordinator informed if the firm, or its associated persons or affiliates, engaged, or intended to engage, in activities related to digital assets, including digital assets that are non-securities. Regulatory Notice 18-20 requested that firms provide these updates to Regulatory Coordinators until July 31, 2019.
FINRA is issuing this Notice to remind firms of their obligations when submitting step-outs to FINRA. While step-out submissions are voluntary and not required by rule, if firms elect to use a FINRA equity trade reporting facility to step out of a previously reported trade, they must comply with applicable trade reporting requirements.
